"Transexual" is a functioning term under the transgender umbrella and correlates directly to any surgical operation undertaken for transgender purposes.
What about trans people who don't go through the security or can't.
Then that wouldn't mean transexual.

They should just transition and get it over with. And for any creep who tries to insult 'em, ignore it. They're not worth it. Get their friends to stand by 'em as a pack. I rhapsodized about my friend and his gay boyfriend, I'll add somebody who insults my trans friend in a theoretical context would wind up with his teeth knocked out. Don't care if I get a fine. I'd gladly pay it. Always fight for what you believe in, and others.

1. Are you gonna pay for the hormones and surgery?
2. Do you even have a trans friend to stand up for? Somebody who would call you a friend as well? Because every sentence that you type gives me further certainty that trans people do not want to be your friend.
3. You realize cis people don't need an armed escort to pee? Wild. They are even allowed to pee without getting lengthy, painful, and expensive surgery first.

Stupid question maybe, but why do we need to have our bathrooms segregated by sex anyway? I know I personally prefer it, but that's just because the line to the men's room is usually shorter and if all bathrooms were unisex if would mean that all bathroom wait times would be longer. Is it to "protect women"? Maybe, but honestly I think creepy guys who would commit crimes against women in bathrooms aren't all that deterred from it considering guys who do that typically have a mental problem that isn't rational like say theft, and thus will always exist. Maybe I'm wrong though.

It's actually a reasonable question.

Maybe, because, on the whole, women are more comfortable with that arrangement. If that is the case, should that not be respected?

Healthcare is a mess RN, which is why I can't honestly say whom should pay for it. Someone should, sure. But who? Kinda the same way politicians have no bragging space on abortion, but the only claim they have to a seat at the table is, who pays for it? If not the government, is it the corporations? A private interest? I don't know.

Do you care about what women are comfortable with in any other context?

And yet you won't let that ignorance stop you from going on at length about it, will you?
